Was there a baby found in airplane toilet?

The Air Mauritius plane, which arrived from Madagascar, landed at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport on 1 January. Airport officers made the discovery when they screened the plane for a routine customs check. They rushed the baby to a public hospital for treatment.



Yes, there have been several high-profile and tragic incidents involving babies found in airplane toilets. One major international incident occurred in October 2020 at Hamad International Airport in Qatar, where a newborn was found abandoned in a trash bin in an airport toilet. This led to a controversial and invasive search of female passengers on ten different flights to identify the mother. Another incident took place in July 2018 on an AirAsia flight from Guwahati to New Delhi, where cabin crew discovered a dead newborn in the toilet shortly before landing; a 19-year-old woman on board later admitted to delivering the child. In January 2022, a baby was found alive in a trash can in an airplane toilet in Mauritius, leading to the arrest of a woman from Madagascar. These cases often involve complex legal and humanitarian issues, highlighting the extreme distress and lack of support faced by women in such desperate situations globally.
